Where we are!
Presidents Message
Gents,
Club shirts are to be worn the next THREE weeks (there are a couple of
spares if you don’t have one $20.00 a shirt).
Tee Time is 7.20am. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to tee time.
We didn’t auction of Damien on Saturday due to miss understanding about
his attendance. If Damien plays Saturday we will auction him prior to
teeing off. Last year’s winner and has a healthy handicap….well worth
a bet.
Remember that all Calcutta monies must be paid prior to tee off
Saturday, Gordon has sent out a list of who bought who and for how much.
To assist Gordon can you have exact money for him.
I have nominated Chris Priems for the Treasurers role and this
nomination has been second by Andrew Petricola. Chris has accepted the
nomination. Chris has been a member of the club for over 10 years and
has been a previous club captain. I believe Chris will put his best
endeavours into the role along with maintaining the strength of the
club.
If there are no further nominations received on Saturday Chris will be
our new treasurer for 2009.
That is all for now,
Stuart.
December Monthly Medal 2008
Congratulations to Neil Iuculano our final monthly medal for the year. Neil shot a net 60 ! 3 clear of the field. Andrew and Targe, who had 63’s, must have thought they had it in the bag :-).
The Calcutta was conducted today and there is a very healthy pot for the winners.
CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP 2008
CHRIS PRIEMS is our Club Champion for the year with 96 points .. well done from all of us Chris a great performance and shows your consistency is better than all us poor souls.Our presidente, Stuart fought all the way for a valiant second and was eight points behind (who knows what would have happened last week if the weather hadn’t been so bad…we’ll never know!!). Kenny Grist, the dark horse, lived up to his name and made a late charge for 3rd spot.
OTHER TROPHIES
Some of the newer members may not know but we have 3 special trophies for the the best three rounds of stroke, stableford and par. We now have the results which are (wait for it!)
Best 3 rounds of par – Damien Lee (+14 total)
Best 3 rounds of stableford – Mehmet Akdag (127 points)
Best 3 rounds of stroke – David Rees (191 strokes)
For those older members as we embark on our round next week, we’ll be remembering Vin, his irish sense of humour, tenor voice, pink tees and his ability to swim underwater while playing golf 🙂
Tee time correction
Please note tee time is 7.20am next week.
TURF’N’DIRT
A PACK OF WIMPS
My sources tell me not one member of our club completed their round last week, yet the pink slipper club played out the eighteen holes. Either we’re a pack of wimps or they are a pack of idiots. I’ll let you be the judge.
SEVENTEENTH CALCUTTA
This Saturday we will be holding our seventeenth Calcutta. For the newer members who have’nt witnessed one before it goes like this.
Its a chance to launder some black money as we auction off the players in the Annual copetition. All of the proceeds are returned to the members in the following manner. 70% goes to the buyer of the winner, 20% to the buyer of second place and 10% to the buyer of the third place getter. So open up those cheque books and be prepared to loose your dough. Winners will be notified by a postcard from the Bahamas.
Until next time,
Hit them straight and not very often
